Suing the CWB

[stubblejumper]

hudye is his own seed supplier, I guess he could sue himself.

It's assholes like Hudeye that screw farming up for everyone.

What kind of a douche would bring in illegal unregistered seed from the states, then try to make a out like the CWB pissed in his corn flakes.

Farmers should get together and sue Hudeye.

CChurch. Read back to Toms post

606/Granite is a hard red spring
registered in Ontario and the Maritimes.

Apparently 606/Granite is only good
enough to make feed wheat in western
Canada... even though in the US and
eastern Canada it makes perfectly fine
bread milling flour.

He didnt bring it from the US, it is a
registered variety in upper canada

What do you mean " It's assholes like Hudeye that screw farming up for everyone. "


Are you now worried about getting caught as well??

The cwb has just bypassed CGC standard on fusarium with their program.

They are taking feed wheat and paying some select farmers a premium for it by putting into a milling grade. While the rest of us blend it off.

[cchurch]

I don't go out of my way to plant questionable varieties of wheat, if that's what you're asking?

How would you like it if some farmer planted some weird obsolete variety of Canola and because of it, China or who ever bans Canadian canola?

cchurch, this has nothing to do with an
unacceptable or banned genetic event, they are
already growing (and selling) it in eastern
Canada. Although there could possibly be a
problem caused from a buyer more worried about
varietal content than milling specs? Not sure
about the likelihood of that though.

Wonder if Hudye initialed the permit book front cover that they had non-registered wheat? Perhaps it could screw up our wheat sales. China and Japan have rejected stuff out of spec. Doesn't mean it's bad, just a surprise in the mills and brewery.

"Tight control of the registration of varieties into a grain class in Canada is the cornerstone of our quality assurance system, and sets it apart from those of our competitors. Before a wheat variety can be registered for production in Western Canada, it must undergo careful evaluation for end-use quality performance, agronomic performance and disease resistance characteristics. Each of the unique wheat classes, such as Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat, has a distinct range of functional characteristics. In the final three years before a variety can be considered for registration, the new variety is grown in a series of crop performance trials across the wheat-growing region. The candidate variety is compared to current reference varieties on all aspects of quality, agronomic and disease performance, and will not be accepted if there is significant difference from the expected performance. The purpose of this tight varietal control is to provide functional uniformity within each class, ensuring customer satisfaction. All varieties registered in a class will exhibit very similar end-use performance and shipments will be consistent in processing quality, cargo to cargo and year to year. This is important for a class of wheat such as CWRS, since large quantities of CWRS are produced each year across a wide range of growing environments in Western Canada. Certain CWRS varieties may be adapted for growing in specific regions, but the registration system ensures they will perform in a manner comparable to varieties grown in other regions. This allows blending of wheat from a wide geographic basis with little or no impact on end-use performance."

fjlip,

Strange how the milling quality of 606 gets top dollar when grown just south of the 49th ... more than all our CWB CWRS varieties... and CERS CANADIAN stringent milling standards are met by this variety.

When will we wake up?
